Get into a war of words with Trump.
I've seen him and his supporters get more time on there this morning, than I have the last 3 months.
If you're talking about Trump MSNBC wants to hear it. Otherwise.....

(704 posts)for helping to create this Trump monster at the expense of covering legitimate issues and fairly covering campaigns.
They have dollar signs in their eyes. Ratings are #1 and violence and hate seem to sell.
This is what passes for "news" today.
It's very sad.
They are no more useful than a "reality" show.
I don't see much difference anymore.

(45,251 posts)And, I think all the MSNBC talking heads had to take a blood oath to end every comment about Bernie with, "But Hillary will get the nomination."
Halperin strongly hinted at those marching orders the other day after a discussion of Hillary's deceptiveness. He looked straight into the camera and and said, But Hillary will be the nominee and repeated that over and over, ending with "Hear me now, believe me later." Meanwhile, Heilemann was suppressing a smirk.

(28,791 posts)I thought they got orders from the dlc to cut it out cause the internet had exposed their math? Oh well, anyway, Bernie has been on a few shows this morning, and good discussion time from the pundits too.

(3 posts)The largest problem aside from the "BUT..she'll probably win" at the end of every comment that is anywhere near favorable to Sanders is that CNN, MSNBC, FOX, etc dont show true accurate results.
Watching CNN moments ago they wrapped a segment showing Hillary with a quote "massive" lead 1254 to 576*
Below it said "cnn estimate".
Its a fabrication.
The CURRENT number of voted / pledged delegates does slightly favor Clinton, but is nowhere near conclusive.
Superdelegates have NOT voted yet. They vote the end of July. Thats why they can change their mibds as they sometimes mention.
They are free to change their minds like ANY VOTER who has Not voted yet! Everytime they say Superdelegate its pure media spin.
When they Mix pledged delegates from voting results with superdelegates they are basically padding both scores with opinion polls!
Nowhere else does the media get away with this, an we contibue to let them by not constantly calling then out on it.
When a portion of uneducated voters primary reason of picking a candidate is "because they will win" mixing in future polls favorable to one candidate with results so far is sure to create steady bias!
